To Ben: I have made gains. Not as much as I thought. Mostly circuits of 20+ moves lapped or timed on wall up to 5min with no more than 3min rests in between (any holds but avoid repetition). My homewall has a full plysheet at 45, 1mx1m80 30, a full plysheet x1m80 5degree, a 2x2m60 vertical and a fairly narrow but long roof sections. All with cracks (which I train alongside as 1 session a week). I can mix it up fairly well. Access to other climbing is limited at the moment but I'll get on rock twice a month minimum.
For the bigger plan: It has to be fairly flexible -and I left a couple of weeks in excess- since my second child is supposed to be delivered in August (ParcelForce
). I thought I would do 4 weeks of power, than 3 weeks of power endurance, then baby and some fingerboard snatched sessions (sorry rest). I would start back. October is loosely thrown in, as I have teacher's holidays.
To Paul: I haven't read that and will try it. Having never trained before, I find it is not that easy to read stuff and find what will help me.
